| Reverse description | Draped, veiled, and turreted bust of Tyche personifying the city of Carrhae, facing left, with mural crown. In the field before her stands Marsyas to the right, nude, carrying a wineskin over his shoulder, positioned atop a short column, with an altar at the base. This composition closely follows the civic iconography associated with the colonia status of Carrhae, referencing the Roman cult image of Marsyas as a symbol of colonial liberty. The reverse legend naming the metropolis coloniae of the Carrhenoi encircles the design. |
